Oli Knowles is an Illustrator and storyteller living and working in Philadelphia. They studied painting at Kutztown University of Pennsylvania, during which time they co-founded Brain Bug Magazine, a comic-heavy kids’ publication for visual learners, that discusses science, food and sustainability. In their current work, Oli connects themes, messages and memories from adolescence to new experiences in adulthood, focusing on full circles, and the collapse of the linear narrative, while also discussing vulnerability, intimacy and queerness.
